President-elect Roosevelt and party leaders agreed at their New York conference last week on a program which would raise normal income tax rates one third and lower exemptions for married persons from $2500 to $2000, but the proposal caused such a protest that they have held It in abeyance while caseing about for other means of revenue.
A renewed determination to balance the budget became manifest among DemocraUc leaders over the week-end, after the first filare-up over the income tax. Both Speaker Garner and Senator Harrison, Miss., Democratic tax leader, indicated they wrere ready to press for action no matter how unpalatable It may prove.

British Air Ace Feared Lost On Long Trip
LONDON. Jan. 8.—(LE)—Bert Hinkler, the British flyer, was long overdue at Brindisi, on the Italian seacoast, tonight on a new attempt to lower the Eng-land-to-Australia flight record.
Hinkler, it was feared, had made a forced landing on the way to Brindisi, the first scheduled stop on the flight He left Feltham airdrome here ear-iy Saturday morning.
" His goal was to lower the present record of 9 days, 2 hours, 29 minutes, held by C. A. Butler. Hinkler set his famous 15-day record in 1928, but soon lost it
Wealthy Scientist Die*, Leave* Note Telling of Secret*
By United Press
Dr. Ralph Octavian Wrana, 62, once wealthy Austrian scientist, was found dead in his humble lodgings today, beside him a note indicating he had left two valuable formulas to the world of science.
The letter instructed a Glendale Physician, Dr. Kenneth Williams, to take the formulas from Wrana’s safe deposit box and to keep them secret until $50,000 has been paid i to my estate.” The high value Dr.
rana placed on his discoveries led the coroner to believe they may be of great importance.
Physicians said Dr. Wrana, member of a firm of consulting i chemists here, died of asthma, from which he had been a long 1 sufferer.
Special Session
Speaker Garner To Fight Proposal as Against Bourbon Policy
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.—HIE)— A serious legislative muddle on Capitol hill will be confused further tomorrow when repeal of the 18th amendment is injected formally into a field of controversy already heated by tax, economy, farm relief, and beer disputes.
The senate judiciary committee will meet to approve the Blaine repeal resolution which alone has split wets into two conflicting camps. This resolution, which guarantees protection to dry states and empowers congress to outlaw the saloon, does not suit Speaker of the House John N. Garner. He claims it does not conform to the Democratic platform pledge for outright repeal without reservation. It also violates the platform by providing for state legislature, instead of convention, ratification.
Women Protest
Voicing the same objection, the 1,200,000 members of the women’s i organization for national prohibi- j tion reform forwarded a protest | tonight against it to the judiciary committee through their national chairman, the wealthy and social-ly-elect Mrs. Charles H. Sabin, who called it “a breach of faith with the American people.”
Either the repeal resolution or the beer bill, wThich still is in the committee stage, may find a place on the senate calendar after disposition of the pending Glass banking bill. This bill has run into heavy opposition from the west on account of its branch-banking features.
The legislative tangle, into which , President-elect Roosevelt has been drawn by force of circumstances, seems beyond solution because of differences in the Democratic leadership and the virtual certainty of veto of beer and farm relief measures by President Hoover. The house resumes consideration of the farm bill tomorrow, with a final vote expected Tuesday or Wednesday.
Predict Hoover Message
Report were current tonight that President Hoover may assert his leadership in the legislative tangle with a message In the next few days emphasizing the necessity of balancing the budget This prob lem now ls engaging the earnest attention of Democratic leaders without tangible results.
Because of the danger of vetoes of farm and beer bills, a budget-balancing program may be all that can come from this congress. Democratic leaders are beginning to see that and are attempting to make a record on that point.
It has become apparent, however, that this is not likely to be done by increasing normal income tax rates as proposed at the New York conference with Presidentelect Roosevelt
The immediate Democratic concern is the farm bill in the house, the first of the Roosevelt economic measures. The president-eldct was told by congressional leaders in New York of the danger to this bill. Sensing a possibility of defeat,
North of Peiping
Sino General Rushes Men Into Jehol Province Pending Parley
PEIPING, Jan. 8.— (U.E) — Japanese military leaders attached to the headquarters unit at Tientsin, near here, today declared their air corps would launch an aerial bombardment of Chinese concentrations along the border of Jehol province, directly north of Peiping, in the next few days.
United Press Tokio dispatches said the Japanese began heavy aerial bombardment of various Chinese positions in Jehol province at dawn today.
The announcement caused speculation as to whether the Japanese plan presages immediate start of another major offensive with the rich lands of Jehol as the goal. It also brought nearer the possibility that their thrust southward into China proper would reach Peiping.
U. S. Head Denies Report
United States Minister, Nelson Johnson, denied dispatches from Tokio saying he had offered to mediate in efforts to settle the Japanese seizure of Shanhaikwan. inside the great wall, last week.
Young Marshall Chang Hsiao-Liang, in command in the Peiping Tientsin area, meanwhile continued to rush reinforcements into the Jehol war zone .He was expected to proceed by airplane in a day or so, southward toward Hankow, in Central China, for a conference with Gen. Chiang Kai-Shek, head of Nanking’s armies.
So fa, General Chiang has insisted that any further encroachments by Japan into Chinese territory below the great wall be met with forcible resistance. It was expected this policy would be affirmed at the parley of these two leaders, in an unnamed spot midway between Peiping and Hankow.
Japanese Entrenching
In the war zone around Shanhaikwan, the Japanese meanwhile were reported digging extensive trenches and artillery emplacements, which some took to indicate they were ready for a defensive rather than offensive move..
Reports from Chinwangtao. seaport below Shanhaikwan, indicated that city was quiet over the weekend.
Marshall Chang and his aides expressed a hope the quiet wrould continue. In a statement to the press, however, he said:
“Manchuria and Shanhaikwan must be returned to China.” He stressed China’s desire for peace. Asked whether it would be the Chinese policy to resist further attacks, h„ retorted; “Is it Japan’s policy to attack to the end?” Chinese Aroused
Chinese popular indignation mounted daily, and authorities feared an incident might occur giving t^e Japanese an opportunity to advance. Several universities suspended classes to aid the military.
Mme. Chang Hsiao-Liang, wife of the northern commander, organized a women’s first aid corps to help care for the wounded.
Gen. Ho Chu-Kuo, the Chinese commandant in thta vicinity, referred the proposal to Peiping.
Wide Technical Research On Problems of Industry Held Solution to Depression
NEW \ ORK, Jan. 8—(UP)—Aggressive progress in technical research in industry must and will go on in the United States and will be one of the major buldgeons with which the depression will be broken, according to views of more than 150 leaders in American thought, expressed in messages to Alfred
P. Sloan, Jr., president of the Gen-♦mark the era through which we

“We feel,” Sloan said, "that we have obtained a real cross-section of American thought on the subject It is apparent that improvement of technical knowledge is more important now than ever before. In times of prosperity we paid to much attention to cost reduction. Now we must concentrate on technical research. I hope we will evolve new products that will help us in beating the depression.
Gen. James G. Harbord, chairman of the Radio Corporation of America, telegraphed: ‘In one tremendously important phase of American industry there has been no depression. Lamps burn brightly in the re^sych laboratories and under them men continue to work out improvements adding to the already high quality of products and services that American industry offers. From these laboratories are coming devices that will
are passing as one of solid and lasting achievement.”
Alfred E. Smith said: “Everything we use has been wearing out and there is piling up a back log of demand that must soon burst its bounds and be reflected in the manufacturing industry. Those manufacturers who have stood tip-toe waiting for this to happen and have gone ahead in their research departments and in their laboratories to improve their product and to sell it cheaper are they who will first win the regards of their foresight. Their initiative and their courage.” Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, telegraphed: “This country is not going to remain forever on a 50 per cent basis . . . and if we are to return once more perhaps to a new normal we should all be thinking of our particular problems.”

Tomorrow Noon Attends Church
Dr. Roy Malcom, chairman of 1 the political science department will be the speaker at the Gra- j duate school luncheon to be held tomorrow at 12:15, at the Women’s Residence hall, talking on "The Importance of Scholarship in the University Today.”
Graduating in 1906, Dr. Malcolm received his A.B. degree at S.C., his M.A. at Harvard in 1909, and his Ph.D. at Boston university in 1910. He is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, national Liberal Arts honorary fraternity and of Kappa Alpha, social fraternity.
Dr. Malcolm has written a textbook entitled “The Spirit of American Democracy” and also contributed articles on American government and on citizenship and American and Orienta lrelatlons.
“The speaker for the luncheon has a new viewpoint on scholarship which should prove interesting,” states Walter Barrager, president of the Graduate school, “and the time will be well spent in attending.”
Recent Taxes on Incomes Amount to Many Billions
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.—(UE)— The America* people have paid $34,047,111,000 in income taxes during the last 14 years.
This sum represents $275 for every man, woman, and child in the nation, $10,000,000,000 more than combined deposits in national banks, and three times the total monetary gold stocks of the world.
In advocating this method of taxation, congressional leaders follow a type of taxation which dates back to biblical times.
In the biblical era the income tax was levied on property rather on money. Thus if a man acquired 20 sheep in the course of a year, he would have to turn one of them over to the government Similar levies were made on other forms of properties.
After 1800 income taxes were imposed in England, France, and other European nations as each succeeding one was fought. This lucrative field of taxation carried the burden of war costs.
Imposition on income taxes ln
England during the peace year9 was bitterly fought on the floor of the house of commons, since many British statesmen believed income taxes placed a definite check on individual initiative and savings.
Income taxes were not success fully levied in this country until the civil war. Taxes adopted at that time were however, quickly repealed.
The real foundations for income taxes wrere laid by ratification of the 16th amendment on Feb. 25, 1913.
Income taxe rates and exemptions considered by Democrats are the highest ever advocated for peace time years and are as se vere as those levied during the single war-year of 1918.
Advocating more revenue from j income taxes to balance the budget presents an interesting fnd historical question.

Air Crash Injures Officer, Kills Wife
SHANGHAI, Jan. 8—«IE)—Lieut Christopher Mathewson Jr., U.S.A. son of Christy Mathewson, major league pitcher, was seriously Injured, and his bride of two week3 killed in an airplane crash here today.
Lieut. Mathewson suffered fracture of one arm and both legs. Physicians said he probably would
recover.
His bride, the former Margaret Phillips, of New York, died shortly after she was taken to the County hospital, in the fashionable west end residential district of the International settlement of Shanghai.
Lieut. Mathewson, flying one of Gen. Chiang Kai-Shek’s amphibian planes, took off with his wife from Lunghua airport for a short flight The ship attained an altitude of about 40 feet when he straightened it out. Suddenly it dived into the Whangpoo river, coasted into a bank, capsized and crumpled.
School of Religion Plan* New Serie* Of Forum Lecture*
Dr. Robert J. Taylor, of the School of Religion, yesterday revealed plans for the resumption of a series of lectures which will be presented by the religion forum during the forthcoming semester.
The series will consist of 14 lectures which are so arranged that the present day interpretation of religion will be surveyed as completely as possible. The discussions will be presented over radio station KFAC from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., beginning Feb. 13 and continuing at regular periods throughout the semester.
Former President’s Wife Shows Little Sorrow Following Funeral
NORTHAMPTON, Mass.. Jan. 8. —(RE)—Mrs. Calvin Coolidge today attended services at Edwards Congregational church where the funeral of the former president was held yesterday.
Accompanlned by her son, John, and his wife, the former Florence Trumbull, Mrs. Coolidge motored from the Beeches to the church.
Her head erect, she took her accustomed place in the family pew.
In contrast to the service yesterday, when high national dignitaries, including President and Mrs. Hoover, were in attendance, the congregation today was composed only of regular members, friends, and neighbors of Mr. Coolidge.
61st Psalm Chosen
The Rev. Albert J. Penner, who officiated at the simple burial in Plymouth Notch (Vt.) cemetery chose as his text a verse from the 61st psalm;
“Lead me to the rock that Is higher than I.”
The young pastor preached on Our Limitations, or the Beginning of Religion.”
In a clear, strong voice he talked on the solace and consolation or religion in times of affliction and sorrow.
Mrs. Coolidge, gazing steadily at the clergyman, followed the sermon intently.
After the service, she walked quickly from the church, and returned to the Beeches.
Receives Telegrams
At the Coolidge home telegrams of condolence still were arriving from all over the world.
It was expected the widow of the former president would remain here for a time, at least, although her plans were said to be uncertain.
John Coolidge and his wife probably will return within a few days to New Haven, Conn., where he is employed in the offices of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad.
Speaker Has Won Fame In England and Other Foreign Countries
T. E. Eliot, poet, critic, and lit* erary exponent among the moderns. will speak this evening on "Edward Lear and Modern Poetry** at 8 o’clock in Philosophy hall. His appearance sponsored by Epsilon Phi, honarary English fraternity, will be Mr. Eliot’s farewell lecture to Californians before returning to the East Marion Darlington, president of the society, will make the introductory address. Following the lecture, Mr. Eliot will autograph copies of his book for members of the audience.
Tickets may be purchased today in the English offine, Bridge 315 or this evening at the Philosophy hall entrance.
Signficant Career The return of T. S. Eliot to his native country, after an absence of 12 years, has drawn the attention of America to the significance of his career. His influence, which has led the younger writers of Europe to speak of an “Eliotite” age is fast taking root In the United States.
An expatriate, having becom* a Britisii citizen in 1927, Mr. Eliot is famous not only as a poet, critic, and an editor, but a stimulating lecturer and clever conversationalist as well. Besides heading an English publication, “The Criterion,’' he is also director of Faber and Faber, a London publishing house.
Harvard Graduate Coming from a long lin*» of New Englanders, Eliot graduated from Harvard in 1910 with a reputation among his classmates as “an extremely brilliant young man whose main occupation was culture.” He announces now that he is “an Anglo-Catholic in religion, a classicist In literature, and a royalist in politics.”
Among his poetical works, “Pru-frock and Other Observations.’* “The Waste Land” and "Ash Wednesday” are his best known. Most outstanding of his critical prose is “The Sacred Wood” and “Dante”
Writing in subtle and incisive verse, Mr. Eliot reveals an erudition hailed by critics as “startling” and “amazing.” His “Waste Land,” which aroused a controversy even bitterer than that which signalled the appearance of “Spoon River Anthology” wai awarded the 1922 Dial prize for poetry.

By United Press
Dr. Ralph Octavian Wrana, 62, once wealthy Austrian scientist, was found dead in his humble lodgings today, beside him a note indicating he had left two valuable formulas to the world of science.
The letter instructed a Glendale Physician, Dr. Kenneth Williams, to take the formulas from Wrana’s safe deposit box and to keep them secret until $50,000 has been paid i to my estate.” The high value Dr.
rana placed on his discoveries led the coroner to believe they may be of great importance.
Physicians said Dr. Wrana, member of a firm of consulting i chemists here, died of asthma, from which he had been a long 1 sufferer.
Special Session
Speaker Garner To Fight Proposal as Against Bourbon Policy
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.—HIE)— A serious legislative muddle on Capitol hill will be confused further tomorrow when repeal of the 18th amendment is injected formally into a field of controversy already heated by tax, economy, farm relief, and beer disputes.
The senate judiciary committee will meet to approve the Blaine repeal resolution which alone has split wets into two conflicting camps. This resolution, which guarantees protection to dry states and empowers congress to outlaw the saloon, does not suit Speaker of the House John N. Garner. He claims it does not conform to the Democratic platform pledge for outright repeal without reservation. It also violates the platform by providing for state legislature, instead of convention, ratification.
Women Protest
Voicing the same objection, the 1,200,000 members of the women’s i organization for national prohibi- j tion reform forwarded a protest | tonight against it to the judiciary committee through their national chairman, the wealthy and social-ly-elect Mrs. Charles H. Sabin, who called it “a breach of faith with the American people.”
Either the repeal resolution or the beer bill, wThich still is in the committee stage, may find a place on the senate calendar after disposition of the pending Glass banking bill. This bill has run into heavy opposition from the west on account of its branch-banking features.
The legislative tangle, into which , President-elect Roosevelt has been drawn by force of circumstances, seems beyond solution because of differences in the Democratic leadership and the virtual certainty of veto of beer and farm relief measures by President Hoover. The house resumes consideration of the farm bill tomorrow, with a final vote expected Tuesday or Wednesday.
Predict Hoover Message
Report were current tonight that President Hoover may assert his leadership in the legislative tangle with a message In the next few days emphasizing the necessity of balancing the budget This prob lem now ls engaging the earnest attention of Democratic leaders without tangible results.
Because of the danger of vetoes of farm and beer bills, a budget-balancing program may be all that can come from this congress. Democratic leaders are beginning to see that and are attempting to make a record on that point.
It has become apparent, however, that this is not likely to be done by increasing normal income tax rates as proposed at the New York conference with Presidentelect Roosevelt
The immediate Democratic concern is the farm bill in the house, the first of the Roosevelt economic measures. The president-eldct was told by congressional leaders in New York of the danger to this bill. Sensing a possibility of defeat,

Sino General Rushes Men Into Jehol Province Pending Parley
PEIPING, Jan. 8.— (U.E) — Japanese military leaders attached to the headquarters unit at Tientsin, near here, today declared their air corps would launch an aerial bombardment of Chinese concentrations along the border of Jehol province, directly north of Peiping, in the next few days.
United Press Tokio dispatches said the Japanese began heavy aerial bombardment of various Chinese positions in Jehol province at dawn today.
The announcement caused speculation as to whether the Japanese plan presages immediate start of another major offensive with the rich lands of Jehol as the goal. It also brought nearer the possibility that their thrust southward into China proper would reach Peiping.
U. S. Head Denies Report
United States Minister, Nelson Johnson, denied dispatches from Tokio saying he had offered to mediate in efforts to settle the Japanese seizure of Shanhaikwan. inside the great wall, last week.
Young Marshall Chang Hsiao-Liang, in command in the Peiping Tientsin area, meanwhile continued to rush reinforcements into the Jehol war zone .He was expected to proceed by airplane in a day or so, southward toward Hankow, in Central China, for a conference with Gen. Chiang Kai-Shek, head of Nanking’s armies.
So fa, General Chiang has insisted that any further encroachments by Japan into Chinese territory below the great wall be met with forcible resistance. It was expected this policy would be affirmed at the parley of these two leaders, in an unnamed spot midway between Peiping and Hankow.
Japanese Entrenching
In the war zone around Shanhaikwan, the Japanese meanwhile were reported digging extensive trenches and artillery emplacements, which some took to indicate they were ready for a defensive rather than offensive move..
Reports from Chinwangtao. seaport below Shanhaikwan, indicated that city was quiet over the weekend.
Marshall Chang and his aides expressed a hope the quiet wrould continue. In a statement to the press, however, he said:
“Manchuria and Shanhaikwan must be returned to China.” He stressed China’s desire for peace. Asked whether it would be the Chinese policy to resist further attacks, h„ retorted; “Is it Japan’s policy to attack to the end?” Chinese Aroused
Chinese popular indignation mounted daily, and authorities feared an incident might occur giving t^e Japanese an opportunity to advance. Several universities suspended classes to aid the military.
Mme. Chang Hsiao-Liang, wife of the northern commander, organized a women’s first aid corps to help care for the wounded.
Gen. Ho Chu-Kuo, the Chinese commandant in thta vicinity, referred the proposal to Peiping.
Wide Technical Research On Problems of Industry Held Solution to Depression
NEW \ ORK, Jan. 8—(UP)—Aggressive progress in technical research in industry must and will go on in the United States and will be one of the major buldgeons with which the depression will be broken, according to views of more than 150 leaders in American thought, expressed in messages to Alfred

“We feel,” Sloan said, "that we have obtained a real cross-section of American thought on the subject It is apparent that improvement of technical knowledge is more important now than ever before. In times of prosperity we paid to much attention to cost reduction. Now we must concentrate on technical research. I hope we will evolve new products that will help us in beating the depression.
Gen. James G. Harbord, chairman of the Radio Corporation of America, telegraphed: ‘In one tremendously important phase of American industry there has been no depression. Lamps burn brightly in the re^sych laboratories and under them men continue to work out improvements adding to the already high quality of products and services that American industry offers. From these laboratories are coming devices that will
are passing as one of solid and lasting achievement.”
Alfred E. Smith said: “Everything we use has been wearing out and there is piling up a back log of demand that must soon burst its bounds and be reflected in the manufacturing industry. Those manufacturers who have stood tip-toe waiting for this to happen and have gone ahead in their research departments and in their laboratories to improve their product and to sell it cheaper are they who will first win the regards of their foresight. Their initiative and their courage.” Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, telegraphed: “This country is not going to remain forever on a 50 per cent basis . . . and if we are to return once more perhaps to a new normal we should all be thinking of our particular problems.”

Recent Taxes on Incomes Amount to Many Billions
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.—(UE)— The America* people have paid $34,047,111,000 in income taxes during the last 14 years.
This sum represents $275 for every man, woman, and child in the nation, $10,000,000,000 more than combined deposits in national banks, and three times the total monetary gold stocks of the world.
In advocating this method of taxation, congressional leaders follow a type of taxation which dates back to biblical times.
In the biblical era the income tax was levied on property rather on money. Thus if a man acquired 20 sheep in the course of a year, he would have to turn one of them over to the government Similar levies were made on other forms of properties.
After 1800 income taxes were imposed in England, France, and other European nations as each succeeding one was fought. This lucrative field of taxation carried the burden of war costs.
Imposition on income taxes ln
England during the peace year9 was bitterly fought on the floor of the house of commons, since many British statesmen believed income taxes placed a definite check on individual initiative and savings.
Income taxes were not success fully levied in this country until the civil war. Taxes adopted at that time were however, quickly repealed.
The real foundations for income taxes wrere laid by ratification of the 16th amendment on Feb. 25, 1913.
Income taxe rates and exemptions considered by Democrats are the highest ever advocated for peace time years and are as se vere as those levied during the single war-year of 1918.
Advocating more revenue from j income taxes to balance the budget presents an interesting fnd historical question.

Former President’s Wife Shows Little Sorrow Following Funeral
NORTHAMPTON, Mass.. Jan. 8. —(RE)—Mrs. Calvin Coolidge today attended services at Edwards Congregational church where the funeral of the former president was held yesterday.
Accompanlned by her son, John, and his wife, the former Florence Trumbull, Mrs. Coolidge motored from the Beeches to the church.
Her head erect, she took her accustomed place in the family pew.
In contrast to the service yesterday, when high national dignitaries, including President and Mrs. Hoover, were in attendance, the congregation today was composed only of regular members, friends, and neighbors of Mr. Coolidge.
61st Psalm Chosen
The Rev. Albert J. Penner, who officiated at the simple burial in Plymouth Notch (Vt.) cemetery chose as his text a verse from the 61st psalm;
“Lead me to the rock that Is higher than I.”
The young pastor preached on Our Limitations, or the Beginning of Religion.”
In a clear, strong voice he talked on the solace and consolation or religion in times of affliction and sorrow.
Mrs. Coolidge, gazing steadily at the clergyman, followed the sermon intently.
After the service, she walked quickly from the church, and returned to the Beeches.
Receives Telegrams
At the Coolidge home telegrams of condolence still were arriving from all over the world.
It was expected the widow of the former president would remain here for a time, at least, although her plans were said to be uncertain.
John Coolidge and his wife probably will return within a few days to New Haven, Conn., where he is employed in the offices of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad.
Speaker Has Won Fame In England and Other Foreign Countries

Signficant Career The return of T. S. Eliot to his native country, after an absence of 12 years, has drawn the attention of America to the significance of his career. His influence, which has led the younger writers of Europe to speak of an “Eliotite” age is fast taking root In the United States.
An expatriate, having becom* a Britisii citizen in 1927, Mr. Eliot is famous not only as a poet, critic, and an editor, but a stimulating lecturer and clever conversationalist as well. Besides heading an English publication, “The Criterion,’' he is also director of Faber and Faber, a London publishing house.
Harvard Graduate Coming from a long lin*» of New Englanders, Eliot graduated from Harvard in 1910 with a reputation among his classmates as “an extremely brilliant young man whose main occupation was culture.” He announces now that he is “an Anglo-Catholic in religion, a classicist In literature, and a royalist in politics.”
Among his poetical works, “Pru-frock and Other Observations.’* “The Waste Land” and "Ash Wednesday” are his best known. Most outstanding of his critical prose is “The Sacred Wood” and “Dante”
Writing in subtle and incisive verse, Mr. Eliot reveals an erudition hailed by critics as “startling” and “amazing.” His “Waste Land,” which aroused a controversy even bitterer than that which signalled the appearance of “Spoon River Anthology” wai awarded the 1922 Dial prize for poetry.
